I may be missing something, but you tell me...
My starting point is this:
...\John Grisham - The Summons\Disk 01\Track01.mp3
...\John Grisham - The Summons\Disk 01\Track02.mp3 [etc.]
...\John Grisham - The Summons\Disk 02\Track01.mp3
...\John Grisham - The Summons\Disk 02\Track02.mp3 [etc.]
and what I want to end up with is this:
...\John Grisham - The Summons\Disk 01\d01-t01.mp3
...\John Grisham - The Summons\Disk 01\d01-t02.mp3 [etc.]
...\John Grisham - The Summons\Disk 02\d02-t01.mp3
...\John Grisham - The Summons\Disk 02\d02-t02.mp3 [etc.]
So, I have tried this, using the "Direct rename files" tool:
Expected file name format: Disk <Custom1><\>Track<Custom2>.mp3
Output file name format: Disk <Custom1><\>d<Custom1>-t<Custom2>.mp3
Working directory: ...\John Grisham - The Summons
Advanced mode (under File name format setup): Checked (for both Expected and Output)
Case fix and replace: Unchecked
Use filtering: Unchecked
Include subdirs: Checked
Preview mode: (Doesn't matter)
The text color of my "expected" and "output" formats is black, so no parser errors exist. The result of this exercize is the following in the Status box:
| Quote | Initializing progress meter statistics
File Track01.mp3 did not match expected file name format.
File Track02.mp3 did not match expected file name format.
[etc.]
No files matching expected file name format found! |
I have tried various things, such as leaving off the directory part in the output format, using "<TRASH:5>" instead of "Track" in the expected format, but nothing seems to work. After a thorough review of the help, it seems to me that I am doing everything correctly, but it doesn't work. It obviously finds the source files. Am I just expecting too much?
TIA,
Doug
